Welcome to the "Big Eye Observation" column. This column will bring together interesting and informative hot content in the industry, and everyone is welcome to watch it every week.
Recently, there is news that kindle is going to withdraw from the Chinese market. Although The Kindle later replied that it "did not receive the notice", it inevitably made everyone worry about the future of the Kindle in China, "Is there still a market for ink screen readers?" ”
01 Is ink screen reader an IQ tax? Is it really eye protection?
Now this era is full of rumors and doubts about everything. All science can be pseudoscience, and all pseudoscience can be misunderstood science. Recently, after the Kindle incident came out, some people doubted whether the ink screen was eye-protecting. As far as a large number of information collected by the editor is concerned, the ink screen is indeed more eye-pleasing than the LED screen.
The e-reader is to coat the electronic ink on a layer of plastic film, and then paste the thin film transistor circuit, the use of electric field control, the formation of pixel graphics, and the paper book almost the same text picture effect. There is no LED screen blue light and strobe, and it is less harmful to the eyes when used.
02The era of ink screen readers is over? Is there still a market demand?
There are many reasons why people buy Kindle, in my case, because the Kindle is less harmful to the eyes, does not use the mobile phone when playing, and can concentrate on reading. And it is more convenient to carry out the door, and it will not be as heavy as a book.
When I first bought it in college, I would take it with me every time I went out, and I felt that I loved to learn. But then I gradually found that the books on the Kindle had very few resources and sold them expensively. If you want to import some resources yourself, you have to go through various steps that are tedious and complicated. The poignant journey is because only Kindle users can understand it! Because of this, I have gradually reduced the number of times I use it, and I have rarely opened it until now.
But does this mean that the era of ink screen readers is over? When browsing, I saw a comment from netizens that "people with sound legs think that crutches can be eliminated." In fact, there is still a demand for ink screen readers, and I see people watching from time to time on the subway. If the Kindle ecosystem had been less closed and the way to get books was easier, I'd still be happy to look at ink screen readers.
03 The demand for eye protection has never decayed, and ink screen mobile phones and monitors have appeared
Ink screen mobile phone can be said to be an advanced version of the ink screen reader, Hisense has produced a variety of ink screen mobile phones, there are black and white ink and color ink screen.
Color ink screen phone
The ecosystem of ink screen mobile phones is more open, and it can install Apps such as WeChat and Zhongguancun Online, with a long battery life, generally about 2-3 days. Watching videos is not very good, and the resolution will be very low. Perfect for kids who are going to school, protect their eyes and can't play big games like League of Legends! It's a parent's paradise, a child's purgatory!
Ink screen display
In addition to mobile phones, ink screen displays are now also produced by manufacturers, which is very friendly to small partners who need to write documents and code frequently. For example, some of Philips' monitors have EasyRead easy-to-read mode, which can convert color pictures into soft and comfortable black and white pictures to bring a more eye-catching reading experience.
In short, I personally think that there is still a market demand for ink screens. If the ink screen can take into account the eye protection and ease of use in the future, the user group will be wider and the market acceptance will be higher. Do readers and friends use ink screen readers or mobile phones, and how do they feel? Come and leave your story in the comments section~
